And i think QA said enough is enough, we need time to catch up our tooling 14:08:10 <randomuser> ...so if we wanted to invest our time in some sort of tooling for RNs, this might be a unique opportunity 14:08:49 <roshi> That's pretty much it, a lot going into automation right now 14:09:05 * gomix is here.. ~ 14:09:06 <roshi> For qa, that is 14:09:27 <lnovich> i heard there are to be different versions of Fedora 14:09:44 * zoglesby is late 14:09:58 <lnovich> how will that effect our work? 14:10:00 <randomuser> that's the idea, lnovich : workstation, server, cloud, others 14:10:13 <pbokoc> lnovich, that's Fedora.next... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora.next 14:10:26 <ciupicri> are there any "others" planned right now? 14:10:31 <randomuser> it'll affect our work however we want it to, I guess 14:10:37 * pbokoc can't wait to rewrite the entire install guide 14:10:38 <randomuser> ciupicri, just spins afaik 14:10:50 <lnovich> so will each guide now have 4 flavors? 14:11:05 <randomuser> no, they all draw from the same repos still 14:11:20 <pbokoc> lnovich, I think it's going to be similar to RHEL variants. You know, like RHEL is available as Server, Workstation, etc. 14:11:23 <randomuser> most all things will still apply to most all users 14:11:34 <ciupicri> what about the software collections? 14:11:42 <lnovich> will some packages be available to some and not others? 14:12:38 <randomuser> I would encourage everyone interested in following development of these products to subscribe to relevant lists - devel@, cloud@, desktop@ server@ 14:12:47 <roshi> Everything is still going to be available to everyone 14:13:17 <pkovar> and @env-and-stacks :-) 14:13:44 <randomuser> I've put this discussion on the FAD agenda, btw 14:13:55 <lnovich> good idea randomuser 14:14:19 <randomuser> we don't have the resources to push a member onto the WGs, so it's mostly a pay attention and see what happens game at this point 14:14:26 <pbokoc> is the agenda available somewhere? 14:15:00 <randomuser> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_FAD_2014#Purpose 14:15:18 <pbokoc> oh right, I'm just blind 14:15:27 <randomuser> hrmm.. at least I thought I put it in there somewhere 14:16:02 <lnovich> we should put an agenda together 14:16:13 <pkovar> randomuser: i am actually in one of the WGs - env -and-stacks 14:16:23 <randomuser> please do add to the wiki, lnovich :) 14:16:40 <pkovar> and there was a call for more docs people to join their WGs of interest 14:16:46 <lnovich> like I have any notion of what it should be? 14:16:49 <randomuser> pkovar, bah. shows how much I've actually been paying attention :) 14:16:50 <pkovar> when the WGs were forming last year 14:17:07 <lnovich> What's a WG? 14:17:13 <pkovar> but you can still join 14:17:23 <pkovar> any of the WGs if you want 14:17:25 <pbokoc> lnovich, working group 14:17:30 <lnovich> oh ok 14:17:34 <pkovar> there are all open 14:17:42 <lnovich> is there a list? 14:18:05 <pbokoc> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora.next :) 14:19:11 <randomuser> pkovar, is there anything coming for SLCs/rings/don't break my application, fedora ? 14:19:36 <randomuser> i know that was a big part pf Matt's proposal, but i'm missing the discussion on it these days 14:19:47 <pkovar> randomuser: yes, it's in the PRD: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Env_and_Stacks/Product_Requirements_Document 14:20:14 * randomuser needs to subscribe to the env-and-stacks list, didn't know it existed 14:20:26 <pkovar> Software Collections (SCLs) and much more :-) 14:20:27 <lnovich> ok I updated the wiki 14:20:42 <lnovich> once we have a list of topics we can make a more formal schedule 14:21:29 <lnovich> will there be any new writers attending the FAD? 14:21:53 <randomuser> not that i'm aware of, lnovich 14:22:53 <lnovich> If we can figure out how to record the sessions the writers in australia would love to see it 14:23:04 <randomuser> hey pkovar - have you gotten any push back from the people that have been maintaining the packaging wiki pages re: packaging guide? 14:23:17 <randomuser> ie "i don't want that info where I can't easily change it" ? 14:24:37 <pkovar> randomuser:yes, there have been some conversations with package maintainers recently 14:25:02 <randomuser> on env-and-stacks@ ? I'll read the archive 14:25:15 <pkovar> more like irl 14:25:18 <pkovar> at devconf etc. 14:25:25 <randomuser> aah 14:25:58 <pkovar> one think is people want to keep the packaging guidelines in Packaging namespace on the wiki - makes sense 14:26:48 <randomuser> an actual guide has more gravity though, and potential for much better presentation, translation, etc 14:26:51 <pkovar> but then there are plenty of more or less outdated and unmaintained wiki tutorials 14:27:03 <pkovar> that i would like to replace with the packagers guide 14:27:16 <pkovar> randomuser: absolutely 14:27:37 <pkovar> i tried to cover this in the env stacks prd 14:27:50 * randomuser shakes head 14:27:54 <pkovar> keep the official guidelines where they are 14:28:06 <randomuser> i need to do some reading 14:28:10 <pkovar> maintained by the p committee 14:28:44 <pkovar> and provide a new getting started document for fedora contributors on docs.fp.o 14:28:55 <pkovar> we could still use wiki pages for draft content 14:29:08 <pkovar> submitted by packagers, eg 14:29:44 <pkovar> but that applies to any other guide we write for fedora i think 14:29:51 * randomuser nods 14:30:07 <randomuser> you know, it might be nice to "watch" a wiki page via list 14:30:24 <randomuser> ie subscribe docs-qa@ to the packaging guidelines 14:30:33 <randomuser> it's not like we're using it for anything else 14:30:45 <pkovar> yeah, true 14:31:25 <pkovar> otoh the packaging committee is sending announce emails whenever they change the official guidelines afaik 14:34:14 <randomuser> so a guide to replace the first few levels of http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora is also being discussed, pkovar ? 14:35:19 <pkovar> randomuser: not that i know of. that would be out of scope for the env stack wg 14:35:32 <randomuser> ok, I misunderstood then 14:36:39 <pkovar> we were really only talking about wiki pages 14:36:52 <randomuser> let's move on to the FAD 14:36:53 <randomuser> #topic Docs FAD 14:38:02 <lnovich> is funding secure? 14:38:10 <lnovich> as in all set 14:39:35 <randomuser> #chair lnovich 14:39:35 <zodbot> Current chairs: lnovich randomuser 14:39:38 <randomuser> lnovich, will you lead this portion of the meeting please? 14:41:06 <lnovich> ok - sure as far as I know there is funding available and those who need it should have asked for it already correct? 14:42:49 <lnovich> The agenda will be built once we know the topics to be presented 14:43:15 <lnovich> so please put your ideas/requests here -->https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_FAD_2014 14:44:38 <lnovich> if you are attending, make sure your name is on the appropriate list 14:45:18 <jjmcd> Sorry - time got away from me 14:45:31 <lnovich> so far there are 5 attending in Brno and 7 in Raleigh 14:45:53 <lnovich> is anyone going whose name is NOT on the list? 14:46:14 <randomuser> jjmcd, you were thinking of bringing someone iirc? 14:46:43 <jjmcd> I was going to call N3LRX - haven't done that yet - was out of town last week 14:47:07 <jjmcd> And I have a radiogram to Eric asking whether we will have the assets we need 14:47:08 <lnovich> We will need a few more topics for the agenda so please put your ideas on the wiki! 14:47:27 <randomuser> jjmcd, i can bring a soldering iron - but i'll probably be dangerous with it :) 14:47:56 <jjmcd> Well, my real concern is a radio and interface. A big part of what we need to do is document how to configure that 14:48:07 <jjmcd> Its really tough trying to do it blind 14:48:32 <jjmcd> I have got one radio mostly working here, but another brand would be a big win, and I think Eric is a Kenwood guy 14:48:36 <jjmcd> <-- Icom 14:49:11 <jjmcd> I had to ressurect a kludge I build prolly 15 years ago to test ;-) 14:49:40 <randomuser> ha! well, please sort it out sometime soon 14:49:54 <lnovich> Are there any more announcements/questions regarding FAD? 14:50:12 <randomuser> nb is trying to keep track of our budget, and sparks is getting rooms - one extra person can make things difficult for them on short notice, jjmcd 14:50:32 <jjmcd> Yeah got that 14:50:52 <zoglesby> Any plans for remote participation? 14:51:07 <lnovich> how remote? 14:51:42 <jjmcd> zoglesby, one reason I'm dragging my feet is that I may be more productive remote 14:51:59 <zoglesby> lnovich: my house 14:52:07 <lnovich> timezone? 14:52:13 <zoglesby> EST 14:52:24 <randomuser> zoglesby, I can probably do some hacky webcam/irc stuff if the facilities don't accomodate 14:52:32 <randomuser> as in, i have a webcam 14:52:36 <lnovich> we could do google hangout 14:53:09 <jjmcd> Half of what I need to do takes radios and other hardware.
